Sidney Bechet with Noble Sissle’s Swingsters – Viper Mad
”Just viper mad
Must have my fun
I’m never sad
It can’t be done
The people are talking
But I don’t care
I’m 21 far from done I’ve just begun
Wrap your chops around this stick of tea
Blow this gage and get high with me
Good tea is my weakness
I know it’s bad
It sends me gate and I can’t wait I’m viper mad”
The Memphis Jug Band – Cocaine Habit Blues
Kokaanista ja sen käytöstä 30-luvun malliin.
”Cocaine habit mighty bad
It’s the worst old habit that I ever had
Honey take a whiff on me
I went to Mr Beaman’s in a lope
Saw a sign on the window said no more dope
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
If you don’t believe cocaine is good
Ask Alma Rose at Minglewood
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
I love my whiskey, and I love my gin
But the way I love my coke is a doggone sin
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
Since cocaine went out of style
You can catch them shooting needles all the while
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
It takes a little coke to give me ease
Strut my stuff long as you please
Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me”
